Apple announced the Mac mini M4 / M4 Pro today. Safe to say Roon Server will work on this without issues? EDIT: I didn’t mean to imply it wasn’t sufficiently powerful. My question was about compatibility. Since Roon Server already works on the M2 Mini, theoretically it should work with the M4 Mini.…

OK, looks like a basic M4 with 32GB of RAM then. That should last me a while! Thanks for the pointers.

The M2 is amazing run Roon with 16 gm ram,256 gb hard drive.

I hope to replace my 2012 MAC Mini with one of these…looks like it would do the trick…I have another M1 Mini I use for my Room Correction with my Roon Library. I like the smaller form factor…

Probably overkill… roon on a Mac / Linux / windows server will use swapping to the SSD if you run out of memory. Roon Rock keeps everything in Ram and just crashes when you run out of Roon. My M1 has been swapping To its 256gb SSD is After 4 years still way over 94% SSD Health.

Overkill in some (maybe many) respects but afaik Roon on MacOS still goes through Rosetta 2 and consequently suffers from sub-optimal memory utilization and other side effects. On top of that HQplayer can’t use the super-powerful GPUs as they don’t have APIs for FP64+ which HQP requires. But it’s s…

Whoa! Thank you @Suedkiez ! Had totally missed this (shame on me) as I have been running (very happily) on a sonicTransporter for the last 9 years. This completely cements my choice.

I pulled the trigger. I had been debating over a Nucleus, mini PC, or a Mac for my core, but my big hangup was, “What if I don’t want to pay for Roon at some point?” and then I have a device that is of no use. I am a long-time Mac user, so I went with the Mini. Since I want this thing to have a life…

workarounds for your issues are easy… turn of cloud relay , private network. use a app like amphetamine to keep the drive and ports awake. and if you are on MacOs15 and Roon looses connection to your endpoints, turn on a vpn server , turn it off and they are all back. hardwired connection takes ca…
